Abstract: Chrysanthemum indicum flower is a traditional Chinese medicine with strong aroma and many previous studies focused on its essential oil. GC/MS and HPLC were used to determine its volatiles, flavonoids and flavonoid glycosides. Sixty three volatiles were detected and the abundant volatiles included 2,6,6-trimethyl-bicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-en-4-ol, 2-(2,4-hexadiynylidene)-1,6-dioxaspiro[4.4]non-3-ene, germacrene D, a-neoclovene, eucalyptol, a-pinene. Ten flavonoids were identified. Quercitrin, myricetin and luteolin-7-glucoside were abundant flavonoids. The bioactivities of the abundant components in Chrysanthemum indicum flower were discussed. It is considered that Chrysanthemum indicumflower is a good source of natural quercitrin and myricetin, which is significant for the development of potential pharmaceuticals.

TL;DR: GC/MS in combination with chemometric techniques provided a flexible and reliable method for characterizing the essential oils of different populations of C. indicum L. indicu from eight populations in China.
Abstract: The volatile compositions of hydrodistilled essential oils in the flower heads of Chrysanthemum indicum L. from eight populations in China were analyzed by GC/MS. A total of 169 compounds representing 88.79-99.53% of the oils were identified, and some remarkable differences were found in the constituent percentages of the eight populations. The predominant components of the essential oils were 1,8-cineole (0.62-7.34%), (+)-(1R,4R)-camphor (0.17-27.56%), caryophyllene oxide (0.54-5.8%), β-phellandrene (0.72-1.87%), (-)-(1S,2R,4S)-borneol acetate (0.33-8.46%), 2-methyl-6-(p-tolyl)hept-2-ene (0.3-8.6%), 4,6,6-trimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-3-en-2-yl acetate (0.17-26.48%), and hexadecanoic acid (0.72-15.97%). The chemotaxonomic value of the essential-oil compositions was discussed according to the results of cluster analysis (CA) and principal-component analysis (PCA). The eight populations were divided into five groups as different chemotypes (Groups A-E), and the scores together with the loadings revealed clearly different chemical properties of each population. In conclusion, GC/MS in combination with chemometric techniques provided a flexible and reliable method for characterizing the essential oils of different populations of C. indicum L.

TL;DR: Seven native and four introduced herbs namely Thymus quinquecostatus, Chrysanthemum zawadskii var.
Abstract: Seven native and four introduced herbs namely Thymus quinquecostatus, Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum, Rosmarinus officinalis, etc. were selected for analysis of the DPPH radical scavenging and anti-microbial activity of their extracts. These perennial herbs are classified as Labiatae and Compositae except for Saururus chinensis and can be propagated through seedling and cuttage. These edible herbs are used as medicinal as well as ornamental plants. Their extract has electron donating ability which ranges from 69.7 to 78.7% for native herbs and 67.4 to 75.4% for introduced herbs. Native herbs have higher (3.54%) average DPPH radical scavenging than introduced herbs. In native herbs, maximum DPPH radical scavenging activity was observed in Agastache rugosa (78.7%) followed by Saururus chinensis while Chamaemelum nobile showed highest activity among the introduced herbs. Many herbs viz. Saururus chinensis, Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum and Solidago virga-aurea var. gigantean showed excellent anti-microbial activity against gram positive Enterococcus faecalis, maximum (80.0%) by Saururus chinensis. Other herbs viz. Solidago virga-aurea var. gigantea, Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum, Salvia plebeia, Chrysanthemum indicum, Rosmarinus officinalis, Chamaemelum nobile and Lavandula stoechas showed anti-microbial activity against gram negative Citrobacter freundii. Especially, the inhibition of colony growth of Citrobacter freundii was highest in the extract of Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum, and Chamaemelum nobile.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify essential oils (EOs) and their concentrations that improved the sensory characteristics of Kochujang by analyzing the effect of the essential oil on the sensory properties of Kochuang.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to identify essential oils (EOs) and their concentrations that improved the sensory characteristics of Kochujang by analyzing the effect of the essential oil on the sensory characteristics of Kochujang. EOs from Chrysanthemum indicum, Chrysanthemum morifolium, Zanthoxylum piperitum and Zanthoxylum schnifolium, which have an outstanding flavor, were added to Kochujang and the resulting products were subjected to sensory evaluation as a function of storage period. The change in the color of Kochujang by the addition of these EOs from Chrysanthemum indicum, Chrysanthemum morifolium, Zanthoxylum piperitum and Zanthoxylum schnifolium was not observed. Kochujang's characteristic flavor was decreased by an increase in the concentrarion of EOs; however, no significant difference was observed when 0.0005% EOs were added relative to the none-additive groups (p<0.05). EOs addition did not affect the hot taste of Kochujang and as the additive quantity increased Kochujang's characteristic taste significantly decreased (p<0.05). After a storage period of 12 weeks, the overall preference of Chrysanthemum indicum, Chrysanthemum morifolium, and Zanthoxylum piperitum was same as the none-additive groups (p<0.05). Therefore, it is suggested that EOs from Chrysanthemum indicum, Chrysanthemum morifolium, and Zanthoxylum piperitum can be applied as additives to improve the characteristic taste and flavor of Kochujang and the recommended concentration level is 0.0005%.
